Blooms!


I'm no expert on flower gardening. I do alright with roses, but if you get the right varieties and keep them from drying out completely in really hot weather, they take care of themselves pretty well. The flower here is an amaryllis. They were in the backyard, where only one got good enough sun to bloom. There is still one back there, that I need to transplant after it dies back and goes dormant. It needs more sun to produce these glorious red blooms. I planted these in a bed with good sun, for a neighbor to enjoy. Whoever put in the confounded bushes seems to have randomly covered up a variety of flowers we are still discovering. Small, free, beautiful gifts from someone who once cared about making this house beautiful.
